Psalm 24

A psalm by David. 

The earth and everything it contains are the Lord’s. 

The world and all who live in it are his. 

He laid its foundation on the seas 

and set it firmly on the rivers. 

Who may go up the Lord’s mountain? 

Who may stand in his holy place? 

⸤The one who⸥ has clean hands and a pure heart 

and does not long for what is false 

or lie when he is under oath. 

⸤This person⸥ will receive a blessing from the Lord 

and righteousness from God, his savior. 

This is the person who seeks him, 

who searches for the face of the God of Jacob.b

Selah 

Lift your heads, you gates. 

Be lifted, you ancient doors, 

so that the king of glory may come in. 

Who is this king of glory? 

The Lord, strong and mighty! 

The Lord, heroic in battle! 

Lift your heads, you gates. 

Be lifted, you ancient doors, 

so that the king of glory may come in. 

10  Who, then, is this king of glory? 

The Lord of Armies is the king of glory! 

Selah
